Not as many fun comparison clips for these. But more things Kubo carried over from ZP to Bleach. Although Wolfgangina and Angelle kinda did a body swap to make Rukia and Orihime: Orihime getting Angelle’s obsessive love for the protag and Wolfginga’s dead brother issues and bust size, while Rukia got Wolfgangina’s tomboy attitude but Angelle’s petite frame and supernatural powers.
Nazna feels like she got split into Urahara by role, Sui-Feng by looks, and Mayuri by personality; but the fact that you can see such a clear through line to Jinta, Ururu, and Tessai always makes me laugh. Shame Tessai wasn’t also a drag queen.
Even though we never actually got a name for her, or learn the truth of her role in Gamma’s life, the long black haired woman who left Gamma a bloody mess when he was a young boy, and member of the Red Cloth 100 bears some vague resemblance to Unohana, and the space she occupies in Gamma’s memories isn’t dissimilar to Zaraki’s revealed fixation on Unohana.
And not that I have anything to make direct comparison to but I love the look of the Red Cloth 100 members, including a young Gamma, that we got to see. Would have been cool to see them fleshed out as a marathon of boss fights like the Gotei Captains, or the Espada.
